Unicorn Birthday Party Ideas on a Budget: Print Everything at Home
A unicorn party does not need a hundred dollars of store-bought decorations. With a printer, card stock and some rainbow streamers, you can set up a party that looks planned and stays cheap. Here is how.
The look: three printed pieces do the work
Skip the wall of decorations. Three printed items create the whole effect: a WELCOME sign on the door, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY pennant banner over the cake table, and cupcake toppers with phrases like "SO MAGICAL" and "MAKE A WISH". Add dollar-store rainbow streamers and white balloons and you are done.
The games: printed, not purchased
- Unicorn bingo with words like RAINBOW, SPARKLE and CASTLE. Print ten cards, cut the calling cards, and you have 20 minutes of entertainment.
- Rainbow scavenger hunt: find something in every rainbow color around the house. Kids love checking boxes.
- Unicorn charades: prompts like "gallop like a unicorn" and "paint a rainbow in the sky".
- Word scramble for the quiet stretch before cake.
The budget math
A typical store run for themed plates, banner, game kits and favors runs $40 to $80. The printable version is one $7.99 download plus paper and ink, and you can reprint any piece if juice gets spilled on it. The leftover budget goes to the cake.
